iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Feels… quiet around here. But not quite behind the scenes — building lots of things, addressing the roadmap, resulting in some larger efforts and features. We are excited.

V1.5 brings histogram, waveform, and color scopes to Aphera, which are useful tools to gauge how “balanced” your image is. We're still fans of letting your eye do the judging though. Take a look in the latest update, now with 30-day trials.

We now have a public roadmap! Take a look at what we've shipped, are actively working on, is up next, and is planned. Active feedback is always good motivation and learning for us to see what you want or need out of a photo app. aphera.co/roadmap

Tried out @aphera.co on the mac as a lightroom/photomator alternative, I really like it and I'd recommend it if your needs/perspective is like mine:

We were very excited to have @chrisglass.bsky.social as an early beta user, and it's astounding and gratifying to see the many images he's made with Aphera all collected here on his longstanding site (which is brilliant). chrisglass.com/tag/aphera/

New on the blog: Does Aphera support my camera? We cover 541 cameras today, and wanted to share just a small part of the work that goes into making and keeping those promises. aphera.co/now/does-aph...

Does Aphera support my camera?

It’s a simple question, with a surprisingly complex answer.

My friends at @aphera.co just launched a new photo editor made for photographers. I've been beta testing for a while and I really like it and today became a paying customer. Looking forward to upgrading my photography workflow with Aphera. [not an ad, I just like it]

Been beta testing @aphera.co for a while now. It's the first photo editor since Aperture (RIP) that feels wholly for photographers and, more importantly, the craft of photography. If you've been holding out for something like that, this is a real gem.

Miles gets it! We're definitely putting more control in the user to decide how *their* images should look rather than allowing knobs and controls to dictate what *should* look good.

Paris and Épernay photo dump. Low-effort pics, but @aphera.co has transformed many. I tried the beta months ago but stalled as it was RAW-focused and I'm no pro; now it supports JPG, so I jumped back in and found my flow immediately. A joy to use, will be indispensable. colly.com/journal/pari...
